    boafang uv-5r

    Damn... I don't understand, it was working fine. The only thing I can think of that happened is windows had installed some automatic updates since the last time I synced my radio. The Baofeng also got knocked off the coffee table onto my hardwood floor, but it didn't seem to phase it. Sent from...

    Back on the Air

    sweet. I didn't know RI 1183 was your call, I was listening for 357. Good to know, I might have heard you and never even knew it.

    KL 203P install, first timer

    Thanks nick. I just need to get a hookup kit, that'd what I'm finding to be difficult because I dunno what all I need exactly in terms of fuses, gauges, connectors, etc. My 959 deadkeys at like 4 watts and swings to 5. Low modulation for sure even with power Mic. On ssb it gets to 12. (this is...

    Where is your 'Sweet Spot'

    location definitely does make a difference. I park in this small gravel lot that is elevated on a gentle hill that overlooks a pond, and then another pond back behind across the road. I've made contacts everytime i've tried dxing there. the receive is always a lot better. i can see the horizon...

    KL 203P install, first timer

    I'll be running a stock galaxy 959 with it. I can adjust the deadkey down to 1 watt with the rf powe knob. Thanks for the suggestion, this amp should pair well with my radio. Also, I'm not sure what the proper connectors are. This is all new to me. Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk 2

    Galaxy DX959 user's review

    I sure like mine. I am pretty sure it's stock... receives great, transmits fine, user friendly interface, good build quality. I talked to a station over 21 miles away barefoot with a wilson 1000 and they couldn't believe I was on a stock radio. I sometimes get complaints that I am off frequency...

    KL 203P install, first timer

    So I finally decided on the amp I'm getting and I'm ready to order it. Just had a few questions first... I plan to just stick my KL 203P under the seat. Does anyone know how long the power cord is on this amp? I am hoping it is long enough to run it straight to the battery. What all will I...

    Requirements for DX

    Got my numbers called by 361 Patrick in Northern Cal today. Said I was a little off frequency but he could hear me. Pretty cool because I have heard 361 practically every day since I got on ssb, good to finally contact him. Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk 2

    World Wide DX Net this sat??

    we could download Whatsapp for out phones and create a thread for us to talk in. It's kind of like a big chat room that we can all join and talk on the go. Like for me, if we did the net, i won't be around a PC. i'll be in my truck, so it'd be more convenient to use my phone.

    My 1st 3way!!!

    What kind of issues??? I've only heard good things about it. Everyone keeps suggesting it to me for ssb for my galaxy 959 on here, and other things i've read online. I was to the point where i was ready to order one from Amazon.

    Is it me or are CBers cheaper than hams?

    hams are usually wealthier. that's what i've observed. 99.9% of the hams I know are white, upper middle class men with a college degree. Most CBers are good ol' boys like me.
